उत्तर
Causes behind infrastructural development by British Rule:
- Development of trade: Britishers built railways, ports, and roads to transport their goods around the country. It enabled them to connect to all sections of the country and expand their trade, which was their primary reason for coming to India.
- British empowerment: Infrastructure development strengthened British rule throughout the country. As a result, they were able to suppress the Indian rulers in various sections of the country.
- Westernization: The British desire to influence Indians with their culture and so gain authority over them. As a result, they favored machine-made or British-made goods over Indian handicrafts. It was made feasible by the country's infrastructure development.
- Protection against invasion: Britishers built ports to reinforce their army and defend against invasion.
